[PATCH v2] PM / sleep: prohibit devices probing during suspend/hibernation

From: Grygorii Strashko
Date: Mon Oct 19 2015 - 16:54:43 EST


It is unsafe [1] if probing of devices will happen during suspend or
hibernation and system behavior will be unpredictable in this case
(for example: after successful probe the device potentially has a different
set of PM callbacks than before [2]).
So, let's prohibit device's probing in dpm_prepare() and defer their
probes instead. The normal behavior will be restored in dpm_complete().

This patch introduces new DD core APIs:
device_defer_all_probes_enable()
It will disable probing of devices and defer their probes.
device_defer_all_probes_disable()
It will restore normal behavior and trigger re-probing of deferred
devices.

Changes in v2:
- DD core API device_defer_all_probes(bool enable) split on two
void device_defer_all_probes_enable(void);
void device_defer_all_probes_disable(void);
- more comments added
